Abstract: An optically detectable antiballistic plate, and a method of producing it are disclosed. The antiballistic plate includes a core of a ceramic plate, coated with a transparent fibre-reinforced surface composite layer of plastic matrix and reinforcement fibre. Cracks visible to the human eye in daylight will occur, in the event of damage to the ceramic plate.

Abstract: A method for forming an antiballistic panel includes selecting a largest ceramic plate, i.e. one with a widest circumference, from a batch of ceramic plates; forming a number of transparent rear covers with the shape of said largest ceramic plate; forming a batch of antiballistic panels each based on a single ceramic plate, wherein each antiballistic panel is vacuum baked from the following: a fibre reinforced composite layer which at least covers a front face of the ceramic plate; a trauma reducing fibre reinforced composite layer on a rear face of the ceramic plate; a binder cloth on the trauma reducing composite layer's rear face; an expanding, gluing foam on said binder cloth; mounting a transparent back cover onto the gluing foam to cover an entire circumference of the vacuum baked antiballistic panels; compression of the antiballistic panel now including the rear cover; and hardening of the foam.

Abstract: The invention is a protective amour gear comprising—a main hip belt (3) with right and left side junctions (2, 2) near said wearer's hip joints, for holding a right and left side, generally “V” or “U” shaped fork structural element (1, 1) by their lower, middle portion (1v, 1v), respectively,—each structural element (1, 1) having a fore vertical branch (1F, 1F) extending up along the wearer's frontal chest to an elevation near his right and left collar bone, respectively, with a separation of about one half of the wearer's chest width; and—each said fork structural element (1,1) further having a rear or back vertical branch (1B, 1B) extending up along the wearer's back to an elevation near his right and left shoulder wing, respectively, and having a separation of about one half of the wearer's back width,—fore attachment elements (6F, 6F) on said fore vertical branches (1F, 1F) for holding a frontal chest amour plate on or between said fore vertical branches (F, 1F), and—rear attachment elements (6R, 6R) on s

Abstract: The invention is an antiballistic armour plate comprising one or more layers of one or more antiballistic ceramic plates laminated with a first, underlying fibre reinforced thermoplastic layer comprising a first thermoplastic material and reinforcement fibres, the antiballistic ceramic plates arranged for receiving and deforming ballistic projectiles or shrapnel, and underlain by a spall liner of one or more loosely bound sheets of antiballistic fibres arranged for receiving the ballistic projectiles or shrapnel having penetrated the ceramic plates. The antiballistic armour plate further has one or more of the antiballistic ceramic plates provided with holes distributed across the one or more ceramic plates, wherein the holes have apertures at least toward the first, underlying thermoplastic layer and provided with a thermoplastic matrix compatible with the first thermoplastic matrix material and provided with reinforcement fibres.

Abstract: A solution to some of the problems related to manufacturing of fiber-reinforced composite panels is to provide a vacuum bag frame assembly for use in the production of fiber-reinforced composite panels, where the vacuum bag frame assembly comprises a tubular center frame, a first vacuum bag frame holding an integrated first vacuum bag and arranged for closing against a first side of the center frame, and a second vacuum bag frame holding a second integrated vacuum bag and arranged for closing against an opposite, second side of the tubular center frame. The tubular center frame is provided with a peripherally arranged vacuum outlet external relative to the space formed between the vacuum bags, and one or more vacuum apertures directed internally relative to the space formed between the first and second vacuum bags and the tubular center frame.

Abstract: A heat exchanger of a structurally self-supporting plate type and provided with an internal flow passage constrained between a first and a second plate and extending between an inlet and an outlet; The flow passage is subdivided in multiple generally parallelly directed longitudinally extending channels with the longitudinally extending channels having continuous joints formed by the two plates; The longitudinally extending channels have an arch-shaped cross-section and the arch-shape of the plates of the channels is in the same face direction orthogonal to the plates; The parallel running longitudinally extending channels include several laterally directed arches relative to their main axis in their longitudinal extension.
